Promising Start For Senior Teams

Posted on November 16, 2009

The ladies opened up their season away to league newcomers Jets and came away with a comfortable 59-26 victory. Next up was local rivals Simonstown at home, Cobras started brightly and built up a decent lead. But as you’d expect in a local derby Simonstown fought back to within a couple of points, however the girls held on to finish on the right side of a 33-28 scoreline. Most recently they travelled to Dundalk to take on Ravens for the first time and they put in an accomplished display to leave Dundalk with a 73-48 win. Next up for the ladies is another new challenge, as they face Cavan United for the first time at the Aura Centre on November 26.

The mens team opened with a comprehensive 63-26 victory at home to new entrant Drogheda Bullets. It was an impressive all round team performance, with Eamonn Bradys defensive presence notable. The mens team have experience to draw on this season as in addition to Brady, Jim and John Ward have transferred from Longford Torpedoes. In fact they signalled their intentions for this season, as they followed up the Drogheda game with a 73-60 win away to last seasons Top 4 champion Dundalk Ravens. Next up? Reigning league champions Cavan United visit the Aura Centre on November 26. Its likely to be standing room only.

Note: the mens and ladies fixtures against Torpedoes originally fixed for October 15th in Trim were postponed until later in the season.

Men Begin Title Defense, Ladies Win Again

Posted on November 18, 2006

Senior Men

Cobras 64, Summerhill 55

Wes McDonagh poured 18 in his debut appearance for the senior mens. This was a scrappy offering with a lot of tunrovers – not unexpected in the season opener – and while Cobras ground out the win, there is a lot more to come from this team this season.

Cobras: N. MacSweeney (13), R. McNiffe, T. Ayres (4), D. Pendlebury (7), Cian Mallen (6), D. Connolly, E. MacSweeney (7), G. Kelly, W. McDonagh (18), A. Thompson (6), Colm Mallen(2), J. Ennis

Senior Ladies

Cobras 57, Dundalk 45

Jenny Healy exploded for 27 points as the ladies got their second win of the season at home against Dundalk. Barbara Kelly added 10 to keep the early season momentum going.

J. Healy (27), B. Kelly (10), S. Meehan (6), D. Kelly (3), E. Lynch (7), K. McGlynn (2), D. Lynch (2), A. Wright, C. Kelly, E. Fallon, C. Doggert
